the people there are within all our thoughts. this morning, the business secretary toward the tv studios and arguing the turmoil of the markets had nothing to do with the budget. does the prime minister agree with him? >> mr. speaker, what we have done is taken the fight back and decisive action to make sure people are not facing energy bills up to 6000 pounds for two years and i think we remember the opposition may talking about six months and we have also taken decisive action to make sure we are not faces -- facing the highest taxes in 70 years in the face of global economic

slowdown and what we are making sure is that we protect our economy at a very difficult time internationally and as a result of our active speaker and this happened -- independently cooperated, we will see higher growth and lower inflation. >> mr. speaker, avoiding the question, ducting -- ducking responsibility and no wonder investors have no confidence in her government. a few weeks ago, there was a couple that was all set to buy their first home and then the government spending spree sent interest rate spiraling. they are back to square one and unable to buy and devastated and sick of the excuses.

does the prime minister understand why zach and rebecca furious -- are furious with her? >> mr. speaker, when i came into office people were facing energy bills up to 6000 pounds. -- he is opposing the very package -- that was the major part of the many budget we announced and he has refused to confirm whether or not he backed our energy guarantee for two years which protects families just this winter but winter. we are seeing interest rates rising globally and we are -- they are white -- rising

globally in the face of the war in ukraine and what we are doing is helping people with their energy costs and reducing inflation with our own package and keeping taxes low and i noticed that the honorable document had a -- when he backed up national insurance. >> the economy is in turmoil. this is not -- there is no call -- there's no point trying to hide it and everyone can see what has happened. the tories went on a borrowing speed -- spree, sending mortgage weights through the roof and they are spiraling and for nearly 2 million owners, their fixed rate deals are coming to

an end next year and they are worried sick and everyone knows it. they won't forget. they won't forget and north so that -- nor should they. went will she stop -- when will she stop ducking responsibility and reverse the market which is causing pain? p.m. truss: mr. speaker, last night, the labour party supported -- [indiscernible] >> i certainly do. [laughter] p.m. truss: i am unclear about -- >> the world cup is coming and

let's hear the questions and serve the answers. . p.m. truss: i am unclear as to what the labor quality -- labour party policy is on the energy price guarantee. it was the biggest part of our many budget and all the opposition saying they want to reverse this and they want to see people -- reverse it. >> we voted against the national insurance in the first place. she -- voted for it. honestly. lastly, the prime minister was forced to u-turn on her unfounded tax cuts for the super wealthy and she is beginning to

realize she needs to extend the windfall tax, one step be kind the ceo of shell but she is still going ahead with 18 billion pounds of tax cuts for the rich businesses and they did not ask for it. she gets wrapped -- just as renters feel the pinch and she is holding out tax cut for those who have stocks and shares. why did she expect working people to pick up the bill for the people at the top? p.m. truss: the leader of the opposition is still not saying whether or not he supports -- this is relevant because it is the biggest part of our many budget --mini budget. all the opposition has said is people should be supported for

paying extra for their mortgages. not working people paying for extra -- not even most of the people behind her who knows you cannot pay for tax cuts on the never never. does she think that the public will ever forget the conservative party if they keep on defending this madness and go ahead with her, because he budget --kamikaze budget. p.m. truss: what are budget has built is security for families and it make sure that we will see higher economic growth, lower inflation and more opportunity. the weight that we will get our country growing between more jobs, more growth and opportunities. not to higher taxes, higher spending and his friends in the union stopping hard-working people getting to work.
